    And of course the very best selection of previews! Gonna be a great season you guys!!!!!









  • I still need to get around to finding the first Berserk movie and Kenichi OVA.
  • Everyone, just tell me whats good so I don't have to do any research.
  • Isn't the new Cyborg 009 supposed to come out this year?

    This. Also everything looks terrible from just glancing at the pictures but what do I know (other than Moyashimon). Judging anime by title and plot description alone is how I ended up watching six minutes of Mysterious Girlfriend X....
  • So is anime over now? This season looks duller than the last. At least Spring 2012 had Hyouka and the show about girls who are actually assault rifles in disguise (moe Transformers).
  • 'Mysterious Girlfriend X' should've gave it away.

    I didn't know that "Mysterious" translated to "spitting into someone's mouth" in English.
  • THE DROOL IS OUR BOND!
  • I can't say there's anything i'll watch this season. What I heard of Muv-Luvs premise sounded like my kinda thing, but from the trailer that show looks to be mostly tits and ass.

    Whats does Girlfriend X translate to

    EDIT
    I was going to correct the grammar but I'll forgive myself for the state of shock and grief I was in after reading that.
  • I tried out 2 episodes of MGX, which was 2 episodes more than what I should have done. My red flag came 6 minutes into the first episode. I hate my co-host who told me "ITS SO GUED!" They are dumb. Now im hearing it lowers the spit aspect and gets better later in the show, yet I fail to see that.

    I feel ya pain, man. These co-hosts and their love for spit-fetish shows.

    LOOKING AT YOU, JEFF.

    I had the same thought about mug luv alternative based on the description. Ladies in robot suits fighting robots sounds good! But I looked it up seems its based off a show based of an H game. Maybe that's far enough removed its possible for it to be good but I doubt it. :(
  • This is all I know about Muv-Luv. I would watch it if they had to talk like this the whole show but it's probably incredibly unrikery.

  • I played maybe 2 hours of the MUV-LUV games when they got translated. Only reason I gave up was because I was trying to balance too many games at once.
  • Guess it's old news but I did not know they were re-doing the first Yamato series. I just watched a couple previews and I am 100% on board with this. I miss the Matsumoto character designs but they kept the old music. So great.

    Edit: Is that a "Night on the Galactic Railroad" movie up there? I'm gonna have to look into that. I guess all I care about now are updated versions of old shows. Is that sad?
  • Aww shit, we back.

  • What is that? It looks quite insane.

    I watched the first episode of Kokoro Connect, it actually has potential to be a good mystery/comedy show.
  • ^Rinne no Lagrange, season 2.
  • Oh, so apparantly there is a new anime called Oda Nobuna no Yabou.

    "Hey what hasn't been done in anime yet?" "Well autistic schoolgirls aren't as trendy as they were the last few years...whatever shall we do?!" "Oh yes I HAVE AN IDEA! Lets turn Oda Nobunaga into a girl with long blonde hair and call her Oda Nobuna!" "Shall we make her a tsundere?" "OF COURSE!" "You are such a genius!". And that is how Oda Nobuna was created (at least in my head). To its credit, Nobuna isn't very moe (OK, maybe I'm lying about that part).
  • Tanken Driland is the only thing that looks like I'll check out based on the image alone. WTF is up with that Code Geass OVA?
  • Probably fanservice.
  • ^Rinne no Lagrange, season 2.


    Man, if someone had told me Nakajima did the OP and ED for season one I would have watched it every week. A damn shame she isn't in the show. I'll watch just about anything she is in.
  • She does the OP for S2 as well. I did post TRY UNITE in the what are you watching thread.
  • So Sword Art Online is pretty awesome, although super grim. Man, the statistic they showed at the end of episode 1 tells you exactly what kind of show its going to be (hopefully).
  • You should watch Accel World, less serious and you get to watch a fatty dueling people.
  • No, forget Accel World, they should have adapted SAO first, it's obviously the superior show.
  • I dunno it's kinda giving me a lord of the flies vibe...

    Also is game time accelerated time like Accel World?! What happens when you need to go to the outhouse or eat/drink?! Or when the batteries run out on the NerveGear helmet?!

    These things I need to KNOW!!!

    These things are always dumb but I like my result :/

  • What the hell, I survive 15 months but I'm only level 3? At least I died on a boss fight and not some random mob.
  • Is anything here as good as Hyouka. That's all I really need to know, bitches.
  • We heard you the first time.

    Kokoro Connect
    Sword Art Online
  • I wish I had the superhuman power of hearing internet forum posts


    wait no I dont
  • Muv-Luv is pretty good, first 2 eps and already time skipped 3 years later. Animation is pretty bad though.

    Horizon S2 eps 1 had more action then the entire first season. So that's looking good too, who doesn't want to see a moe version of Shakespeare having word battles.

    Also lvl 62 and gets ganked by another player in 18 months. So true.
  • So far Humanity Has Declined is a pretty funny show.

    I couldn't into Muv-Lov so far, maybe Blood-C spoiled me with all the gore in it, but the death seemed meh to me.
  • Blankkold is stuck in SAO. Level: 40. Survives till the end of the game!

    ye son
  • It was a worthy cause to die for.

    Tari Tari at least has that going for it.
  • Isn't that type of faux-lesbianism a premandated anime law though, like the beach episode.
  • I don't think I would call that lesbianism.

    Also, hats are cool:
    image
  • Is that Night on the Galactic Railroad?
  • Edit: wrong thread
  • OMG, that second episode of SAO was so frustrating... I wonder if the writers have ever played MMO's?

    Also epic loot for the person that gets the boss death blow, that's a raid breaker right there.

    Beta tester + Cheater = Beater (oh, Japan and their masterful command of english)
  • Beater is a pretty good term.
  • Can we all just agree that Sawa from Tari Tari is the best? I love that she's never going to put up with any of Konatsu's shit.

    Also they put a little more love into Rinne's 2nd OP and ED so I made some gifs

  • From your posts is it safe to assume that the show is Japan's version of PPG.
  • Well, actually Japan already has it's own version of PPG. It wasn't very good I hear.
  • Well, except the green one is the leader.
  • I am disappointed by the lack of built-in weapons.
  • I should probably catch up on Rinne, but its the kind of show I want to wait until its finished to watch.

    Also, Kokoro Connect is still pretty great. THE MYSTERY DEEPENS.
